Chronology

Revelation and Dust is a novel from author David R. George III. It is the first of five novels making up the Star Trek: The Fall miniseries which centers around the Federation and the Typhon Pact. The focus of the novel is the new Deep Space 9 becoming operational and an event that will shake the people of the Federation.

And what of Kira Nerys, lost aboard a runabout when the Bajoran wormhole collapsed? In the two years that have passed during construction of the new Deep Space 9, there have been no indications that the Celestial Temple, the Prophets, or Kira have survived. But since Ben Sisko once learned that the wormhole aliens exist nonlinearly in time, what does that mean with respect to their fate, or that of the wormhole… or of Kira herself?

However, during the dedication ceremony, President Bacco is assassinated. Enkar Sirsy, the aide of BajoranFirst MinisterAsarem Wadeen, is discovered unconscious in the booth where the fatal shots were fired and claims not to remember what happened. Initially, all the evidence points to her guilt but Asarem stands by her. When an attempt is made to poison Enkar, a subcutaneous device is found which suggests that she has been framed by the Tzenkethi.

Meanwhile, in the Celestial Temple, Kira receives a vision where she sees herself as Keev Anora, a member of a terrorist group in what appears to be Bajor's past freeing Bajora slaves from the oppressive Aleira. She is suspicious of Altek Dans, an Aleira who joins her cell, but eventually starts a relationship with him.

The wormhole abruptly opens and releases a Tear of the Prophets, which when beamed aboard Deep Space 9 discharges Altek. Meanwhile, another orb deposits Kira with the believed dead Taran'atar.
